"Azo Pozzolana Pigment"

An azo dye produced via the 'grind method ' ( 5deg.C/ 5 minutes/ mortar & pestle) was diluted with water and meta-kaolin added. The mixture is stirred well and water allowed to evaporate overnight in a fume hood.
A gouache paint can be formulated if minimal water, high-fructose corn syrup ( binder) and a drop of PEG 8000 is added.
If an acrylic paint formulation is desired, no high fructose corn syrup is added ( the acrylic is the binder) , and minimal water and clear acrylic emulsion added. The paint is stirred well and kept in an air tight vial until needed.

Logic is devoid of emotion. Humans store memories, and learn, via stories. The Teacher taught the people through parables. The Teacher was a social genius and understood the masses. The parables....were riveting.
